THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 24, 2021

As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his

disciples and a sizable crowd,

Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of

Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging.

On hearing that it was Jesus of

Nazareth, he began to cry out, saying,

"Jesus, son of David, have pity on me."

Even if we have never suffered physical blindness, we

can all appreciate the concept of spiritual blindness.

How awful it must be to go through life not knowing

that God loves you, offers you forgiveness and

friendship, and invites you to become a child of God

forever! Every time we celebrate Mass, we participate

in the self-offering of Jesus Christ, God the Son, to

God the Father for the salvation of the world. Jesus,

the Light of the World, wants us to “do this in

memory of me” so that his offering of merciful love

will dispel spiritual blindness, fill us with his divine life

(called ‘grace’), and call down mercy upon sinners

throughout the world.

Over the next few weekends, we will focus on different parts of the Mass so that we can better

understand and participate in these mysteries of our

salvation. This also helps us to feel more confident

when we seek to explain our faith to others and invite

them to seek the Light of Christ. This weekend, our

focus is on the Introduction to Mass: all that

happens from the opening hymn until the Collect, the

prayer that we use to “collect” our intentions before

we are seated to listen to the readings. To be honest,

our preparation begins even before we come to

church. Good practices include:

Taking time to confess our sins regularly (to make

room in our hearts for Jesus)

Fasting one hour before receiving Holy Communion,

Reviewing the readings in advance (they are

published each week in the bulletin)

Coming a few minutes early to recollect ourselves

There are even prayers before and after Holy

Communion printed in the back of the hymnals for

you to use.

As we enter church we bless ourselves with the Sign

of the Cross, genuflect toward the Tabernacle (where

Jesus awaits us in the Holy Eucharist), and remind

ourselves in those actions that Jesus is Lord of our

lives. As life is a spiritual journey toward Heaven,

Mass begins and ends with a procession. After

Fr. Gordon

beginning in song, making the Sign of the Cross

together and exchanging a greeting, we humbly

confess that we are sinners and glorify God’s mercy

by singing the Gloria. In confessing our sinfulness

often we use the words, “Lord, have mercy” (Kyrie

eleison). Kyrie eleison is Greek, not Latin, which

reminds us that our original liturgical language—as

well as the New Testament of the Bible—is Greek.

Lastly, we “collect” our intentions in prayer and then

are seated to hear God’s Word. All of this takes less

than 5 minutes, and yet how we begin profoundly

influences the quality of our prayer! More to come

next week….

Volunteers Needed: The St Vincent de Paul Society at St. John is seeking volunteers from the STA/SJSC

parish family to help prepare dinners for Afghan allies

and nationals who are now moving into the Greater

Lansing area. We are doing this in response to an

invitation from Cristo Rey Community Center and with the support of the Greater Lansing Food

Bank. We will begin Monday, October 25. Please

continue to read the bulletin for further details!

And please consider signing up for the UNBOUND day retreat at St. Thomas on Saturday, Nov. 6.

UNBOUND teaches an effective method of praying

through our anxieties, fears, attachments and

addictions. This is a powerful retreat, please see the

parish website to sign-up or contact the office!

May God bless and keep you all!

Spirit of God, fill us with your Love

Saturday, Nov. 6 UNBOUND - A One Day Retreat

for all Parishioners

Despite our best efforts, many of us struggle with the

same sins time and again, leaving us feeling hopeless in

our search for freedom. Unbound lays out a strategy

to overcome Satan’s influence in your life and how to

live in the freedom of God’s plan for you.

Participants will learn how to respond to the good

news of the gospel and apply the truth to their lives.

Learn the five keys which help us respond to the

grace that unlocks the door and sets us free.

1. Repenting of sin and expressing faith in Jesus.

2. Forgiving oneself and others.

3. Renouncing the lies, spirits, and tactics of Satan.

4. Taking authority over the works of Satan.

5. Receiving the Father’s blessing.

The retreat was developed by Neal Lozano who

founded HeartoftheFather.com. You will come away

with your faith enlivened and concrete ways to respond to the good news of the gospel. Every

blessing the Father spoke to Jesus now belongs to

YOU.

The cost is $40 and includes a continental breakfast,

lunch and materials. You can register online or in

either parish office. Questions? Contact Jen Brown

at [email protected] or 517-351-5460.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO PREPARE MEALS

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

This Sunday the inquirers and

their sponsors learned what

Catholics believe about Mary

and the saints. They were able to ask their questions

and clear up some misconceptions about Catholic

beliefs. Mary is a model of a disciple's total response

to God. The saints are people who have followed the will of God by doing ordinary things in an

extraordinary way. They come from every age group,

occupation, era, and vocation in life. They are models

for us and intercede for us with God in heaven.

Next, the inquirers and their sponsors explored the

Catholic understanding of heaven, hell, and

purgatory. They learned that Catholics regard death

as a comma, not a period. Death is a moment of

transformation when a person begins a whole new

way of life. God's love for us is total and

unconditional but the choices we make to be giving or

selfish determine how we will spend eternity.

Heaven is a dynamic life spent in the presence of God,

who is total love. If we enter eternity as a totally

selfish individual, completely consumed by sin, we will

be alone with our selfishness, unable to enjoy the

total love of God. That is hell.

For many, if not most people, death comes at a time

when there is some trace of selfishness and sin within

them. In order for them to be totally united to the

God of love, they need to be purified of any remaining

elements of sinfulness. This is purgatory. Even while

a person is undergoing the purifying experience of

purgatory, knowing that they are not yet totally

united with the Lord, there is a good deal of

happiness because the individual knows for certain

they will be.

This session was summed up by a quote from

St. Francis de Sales: “Life is for seeking God. Death is

the moment when we find God. Eternity is the

possession of God."

If you have been thinking about exploring your

interest in the Catholic Church, or if you know

someone who has mentioned this possibility, call Pete

Ries at 517-351-5460 or [email protected].
